The Global Report on Women in Tourism 2010 provided the first look and a baseline study on the situation of women in the tourism sector. This second edition of the report considers how the situation has evolved since then and provides a thorough assessment of tourism’s contribution towards United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 5 – to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. The report has an extended geographical scope, additional in-depth industry analysis and contains a rich tapestry of case-studies that illustrate how women around the world are using tourism as a vehicle for empowerment and development.
